Traffic Commissioners: Powers
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has made an assessment of the adequacy of the powers of traffic commissioners.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
Traffic Commissioners perform important and independent regulatory, compliance and tribunal roles for the road freight and public transport sectors. A functional review conducted by the Ministry of Justice, published in May 2023, found the function generally effective and offered proposals for improvement. My Department are considering these alongside other reform options.
